This may or may not be a simple question to answer. I have created an activex control that does instant messaging using winsock controls placed on the UserControl. I have also added several other standard forms to the activex control to allow users to enter messages, choose files to send, etc.

My problem is that when I show a form to enter a message, I then need to refer back to the UserControl to send it using the Winsock controls.

The simple question...... If you have an ActiveX Control with a standard form, can you refer to the UserControl object or other controls placed on it from the standard form?
